What it does

A 43 inch metal frame bed rail with a mesh panel that straps under an adult mattress and swings down when not in use, for children 2 to 5.

  • Rail swings down and out of the way when not in use
  • Patented Gap Guard meant to keep the rail against the mattress
  • Swing lock and strap assemblies anchor the rail under the mattress
  • Can lie flat in the down position, depending on frame and box spring height
  • Wipeable rail cover

A low cost, tool free rail for a child aged 2 to 5 moving into a twin, full or queen bed on a box spring. The trade-off is fit: it is not for toddler beds, bunk beds or very tall mattresses, and the straps need to be snug with no gap at the mattress edge.

Worth knowing

  • Regalo warns of a suffocation and strangulation hazard: gaps in and around bed rails have entrapped young children.
  • Never use with children younger than 2 years old, and never use in place of a crib.
  • Use only when the rail is tight against the mattress with no gaps, and at least 9 inches from the headboard and footboard. Do not fill gaps with pillows or blankets.
  • Never use on a toddler bed, bunk bed, water bed or bed with an inflatable mattress. Use only on an adult bed from twin to queen size.
  • Stop using it if it is damaged, broken or missing parts.
